US/UK Policy: Devices Banned on Aircrafts

ELECTRONIC DEVICES BAN:
The US and UK have moved to ban electronic devices larger than a mobile phone from cabins on flights from some Middle Eastern and North African countries.

The new security measures will mean that electronic items and devices larger than a mobile phone will be required to be carried in checked luggage only, not in the main cabin in hand luggage. This will apply to (but is not limited to), laptops, tablets, portable DVD players, cameras, e-readers and gaming devices larger than a smartphone.

The policy will come into effect on Friday 24 March 2017 and will impact flights travelling to the United States and the United Kingdom from the following list of countries.

The US policy has banned large electronic devices on flights from the following countries:
Jordan
Egypt
Turkey
Saudi Arabia
Kuwait
Qatar
Morocco
United Arab Emirates

The UK’s policy, is slight less restrictive and applies to flights from the following countries:
Turkey
Lebanon
Jordan
Egypt
Tunisia
Saudi Arabia
Emirates, Etihad Airways, British Airways and Qatar Airways have advised us directly that the new policy will be in place on their flights from the affected list of countries into the US and UK.

The new regulations will affect passengers transiting through the listed countries on to destinations in the US or UK and they will need to check in all prohibited devices before departing Australia.

Passengers and flight crews will be banned from bringing Samsung Galaxy Note 7 smartphones on all airline flights under emergency orders issued Friday by both Transport Canada and the U.S. Department of Transportation in response to reports of the phones catching fire. The phones may not be carried on board or packed in checked bags on flights to and from Canada and the United States or within either country. The phones also can’t be shipped as air cargo.

Passengers with the phones will not be allowed to board planes. And those who try to evade the U.S. ban by packing the phones in checked luggage may be subject to criminal prosecution in addition to fines. Transport officials in both countries warned that carrying the phones in checked luggage increases the potential danger to the flight.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says there have been nearly 100 reports of batteries in Note 7 phones overheating in the United States.

Special Requests

Customers with special needs should contact the operating airline directly for their seating needs.

Special requests are on request basis and are not guaranteed. The passengers need to contact the airlines directly to reconfirm such requests.

Failure to meet check-in times may result in denied boarding, the loss of your assigned seat selection, cancellation of your full booking and the entire fare paid being forfeited with no option of re booking.

Credit Card:

Appearance of charges on credit cards/Visa Debits:

The amount displayed for an ‘Authorized Transaction’ may be different from what you actually paid, as some merchants require a temporary hold be placed on additional funds. This is a common practice for many other merchants such as: gas stations, restaurants and hotels. The correct amount will display when the transaction is shown as a ‘Posted Transaction’.

A delay may occur between the time a transaction is settled and removed from Authorized Transactions, and when it appears in Posted Transactions.

Some transactions may appear as both an Authorized and a Posted Transaction until settled.

When applying a debit/visa card for payment, and in the event of a cancellation, your funds may be held up to 60days by your financial institution. We strongly recommend an alternative form of payment to avoid any inconveniences.

If you are using a foreign or a third party credit card to make your booking, our Back Office Processing Department may contact you by email or telephone to collect more information. Since FlyFar is a Canadian company, passengers using foreign credit cards may be charged a foreign transaction fee and/or currency conversion fee from their financial institute.

Baggage Allowance and Restrictions:

Baggage fees are not included in the cost of your ticket unless permitted by the airline. Baggage allowance varies from airline to airline and can also vary based on the class of service purchased (I.e. not all economy class tickets offer free baggage allowance). Some airlines charge additional fees for both; check-in and carry-on baggage. Some airlines charge additional fees for adding baggage to the reservation at the airport or after you’ve completed your purchase online. We strongly suggest that baggage is added in advance for such carriers. Moreover; it is the passengers responsibility to check any baggage rules with the airline before making a purchase on our website as FlyFar has zero control over the airline’s ever-changing baggage policies. If you are not sure about a baggage policy, please contact FlyFar prior to booking in order to verify the specific airlines details. FlyFar charges a nominal service charge to add baggage to your booking, you will be notified of the amount at time of purchase.

During the booking process, we will only display Economy, Premium Economy, Business or First Class of service types. Many airlines offer branded fare options within these four classes of service (For example: Basic Economy or Flex Economy). We may display a fare as Economy Class even though it is Basic Economy. Since our website is not able to accommodate these branded fare types, we will only list the main classes of service during the purchase process. If you are unsure of the branded fare type within your class of service, please contact us prior to completing your booking so that we can validate the full baggage terms for you.

There is a rare chance that your ticket may involve two carriers that do not have ticketing agreements with one another. This means that your baggage will not be checked through to your final destination. In such cases, you will need to collect your baggage and recheck in and this may result in additional baggage charges. Please verify the minimum connection time and baggage information with the airlines directly before your departure. Airlines that do not have ticketing agreements are usually labeled on the FlyFar website as ‘Self-Transfer’ fares. Any baggage purchased at the time of booking is 100% non-refundable.

Online Fare Reservations, Misprints, and Product Availability

In the event that more than one set of conditions apply to the same trip then the most restrictive conditions of both sets apply to the entire journey. While it is possible to make bookings electronically for some of the travel services, the act of reserving a product electronically does not imply a final confirmation or commitment by FlyFar to actually deliver the product reserved at the prices indicated. FlyFar, endeavors to provide current and accurate information on its website, however any misprints or errors may occur. Accordingly FlyFar, reserves the right to change the prices, fees, charges regarding the goods and services available on its website at any time and from time to time without any notice or liability to the user or any other person. Also, FlyFar, cannot guarantee that goods and services advertised on the website may be available when ordered or thereafter FlyFar reserves the right at any time to reject, amend, cancel or terminate any order without prior notification. A final confirmation is only given by FlyFar once the company has issued the airline tickets, a final invoice and delivered travel documents for the product reserved. Terms and conditions of the confirmation and sale will vary depending on the product reserved and are generally set out in the company’s website or other notices issued from time to time.

OB Ticketing Fees

The Airline ticketing fees, also called OB Fees, are mandatory fees defined and collected by particular Airlines.
The fee is charged to each passenger when a ticket is issued in International markets (at first ticket issuance only).
These fees are imposed by the airline on certain routes to cover costs for a specific Form of Payment (credit card) or for other ticketing services.
Airline ticketing fees are non-refundable and are collected at time of ticket issuance. Depending on the airline, you may see this as a separate additional charge on your statement or as a single consolidated amount.

FlyFar Booking Fees

FlyFar will often times charge a booking fee on flights to a particular destination. This fee is lumped into the total cost of your booking. By agreeing to the total purchase price of the ticket, you have also agreed to the FlyFar booking fee. This fee is charged by FlyFar (not the airline) in CAD.
